Done! 👍

Do I need to get this? 😬

Yeah totally and such an incredible copy too…was pretty much near the top of my most wanted list for many a year!!! Feel really fortunate to have found it 🤯❤️😎

We’re putting on a few events here at the @soundloungecio.bsky.social this month! First up is our Bluegrass All-Dayer on Sunday August 17th & then our monthly ‘Sunday Sessions’ on August 31st with Pete Astor & Band & more..Details/tix are over at thesoundlounge.org.uk…
We’d love to see you there! 💥

❤️💥😎

Listening to the wonderful Terry Reid all morning has led me on to another of our greatest singers, possibly the most underrated of all, Reg King. Been after a copy of this for over twenty years & struck gold earlier this year at the fantastic @riverman.bsky.social in Oxford…A stunning album ❤️🚀😎💥

Terry Reid: “He didn’t see himself as the guy who missed out…” Although best remembered for turning down Led Zeppelin, Terry Reid was a vocalist of rare talent. MOJO pays tribute to the singer, who has died at the age of 75.

“He didn’t see himself as the guy who missed out.”

While perhaps best remembered for turning down the offer to join Led Zeppelin, Terry Reid was a vocalist of rare talent, heralded by Aretha Franklin among others. MOJO pays tribute to the singer dubbed “superlungs”, who has died aged 75...

Thank you for the beautiful music Terry Reid…way up there with the greatest 🙏❤️🪐

It’s great US country/folk singer songwriter style but with a funky ish element…kinda Townes Van Zandt meets JJCale…If that makes any sense 😬✌️😎

Will definitely check this also…absolutely loving ‘Planetary Unfolding’…thanks for the recommendations 🙏👍😎

Day off Listening #1 Michael Stearns’ ‘Planetary Unfolding’ from 1981…Completely immersed in the transcendent and cosmic beauty of this recording…picked up a copy after a post by @andrewmale.bsky.social…It’s a beautiful album 🪐✌️❤️😎

🙏❤️🌳

Big call but a good one…

Shirley Collins & The Albion Band’s 1971 album ‘No Roses’..It features members of some of my fave bands, Fairport,The Watersons & Mighty Baby & Nic Jones & Barry Dransfield & at times it has that ‘Matty Groves’ dubby funky folk-rock sound but it’s Shirley who shines with her beautiful, pure voice 🌳❤️

Van Morrison’s ‘Veedon Fleece’ from 1974…It’s just transcendental music, he was tapped into some real magic, reaching for something almost undefinable…I’d say he was a genius. Sounds truly wonderful 🌳🚀🌵🪐😎❤️

Kicking off with a total classic, Nick Drake’s beautiful ‘Bryter Layter’ released in 1971. Produced by the legendary Joe Boyd and featuring Richard Thompson, Dave’s Pegg & Mattacks, John Cale and string arrangements by the great Robert Kirby…It’s a stunning record, a melocholy beauty 🌳❤️🦢⭐️

Khan’s ‘Space Shanty’ from 1972…Knew of it but had never seen a copy…a friend actually sent me a cd of it recently & a vinyl copy fell into my hands the next day! Khan featured Steve Hillage & Dave Stewart from Egg. Prog jazz-rock…Very Canterbury, inventive, playful & yes very cosmic..Loving it! 🪐🚀✌️

Hey folks! Just a quick heads up that there’s only 10 tickets left for our London Omeara show in November so if you fancy coming along you should probably nab one now! Gonna be a fun night!! 🚀❤️😎🙌

Budgie’s classic ‘Never Turn Your Back On A Friend’ from 1973…proto progressive metal featuring the original version of ‘Breadfan’ which Metallica later brought to a new generation…Sabbath like in approach….fantastic riffing yet pretty melodic & some lovely acoustic stuff too…🦅💥😎❤️

Funny you should say that cos this is up next! Not the first but a coincidence nonetheless!! 🦅🚀🍄

It’s great!! The same low mid bass sound as Geezer Butler…great guitar wig outs and actually pretty melodic in parts…worth seeking out a copy! 🍄🤘

Pushing into 1971 with UFO 2 - ‘Flying…One Hour Space Rock’, released on Beacon Records. Extended spaced out psych blues rock cosmic jams…with the title track clocking in at 26 plus minutes! I’d file alongside The Groundhogs’ incredible ‘Split’ from the same year…It’s way out there & fantastic!! 🚀✌️🍄

Yep it’s a great album ❤️

Staying in 1970 to follow…Deep Purple’s classic ‘In Rock’. Such an exciting record…They don’t garner the same cross-over appreciation as Sabbath but it’s an amazing album & right up there for me…one of the great rhythm sections of all time too. This Harvest 1970 UK pressing sounds stunning💥🚀😎❤️🌵

Completely immersed in the new Rhino Hi-Fidelity remasters of Black Sabbath & Paranoid…two of my all time favourite albums. Cut from the original Analog Master Tapes by Kevin Gray. I’m lucky enough to have UK Vertigo pressings but was excited to hear these…beautifully packaged & sound amazing ❤️🚀🔥🍄

Prob the last of the day, got some stuff to do but can’t stop playing records!! This is a stone cold masterpiece, Allen Toussaint’s ‘Southern Nights’ from 1975…a lightly psychedelic New Orleans Soul concept album…transcends genre though, incredible songs, stunning arrangements…It’s astonishing ❤️🤯🔥😎🎷

Willis Alan Ramsey’s debut released in 1972…One of the greatest debut albums of all & made all the more notable by the fact he’s never made a follow up…He’s known to brilliantly answer that question with “What’s wrong with the first one?”…Every song is wonderful, It’s pretty much a masterpiece 🌵❤️💥😎

Bruce Springsteen’s ‘Lost & Found’…Not got the box set (yet?) but am loving the 2 LP selections album…As always there’s some absolute gold in those vaults…To these ears at least, often way better than much of the later album stuff…Great to hear 🎷😎❤️🚀

Saw Van at Hyde Park on Friday…he was definitely searching for the magic & very nearly found it. Pulled out ‘Beautiful Vision’ from 1982. People often dismiss his 80s stuff but he made some of the greatest music of his career in that decade…This album is just so magical…a beautiful vision indeed 🎷🙏❤️
